oem replica bumper
I was thinking of buying a replica bumper for my eg. does anyone have one?? are similar to actual oem?? and do they paint well?? If anyone has used one just give me some info and post pix if youve painted one.
we use aftermarket bumpers all the time for customers who dont want to pay for oem, relatively cheap like everyone has said. its hit or miss with fitment. weve sent some back before that were horrible, and recieved ones that fit perfect. you get what you pay for 50 percent of the time, ha.
I picked mine of from the local used honda/acura dealer. Rear bumper went on nicely. Front bumper took a little work with a heat gun to help the bottom clear the radiator support, but overall happy for only spending $30 a piece on them. The maker is called CertiFit I believe.

Ya but you get what you pay for. Took me an hour or two with the heat gun to get mine up to my likings. But then again knowing I'd have to cut the bumper anyways I didn't wanna fess up for a high dollar o.e.m. This is how mine turned out. And p.s. the fog lights were a pita.
make sure you clean the hell out of it to get any release agent, grease, and stuff like that off. many of the bumpers i have painted like this require sealer, then some say do not seal or prime, just base right over it. look for any tags that give paint instructions.
